Zuckerberg also said he'd be willing to send suggestions to Graham's office for that right kind of regulation. Zuckerberg agreed: "If there's an imminent threat of harm, we're going to take a conservative position on that and make sure that we flag that and understand that more broadly".

Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California. In one informal online Twitter poll (984 respondents), 83% said they would not pay Facebook in exchange for opting out of ads. "Right there. Not buried in the settings somewhere but right there", Zuckerberg said.

To get there, many Congressmen and Congresswomen have somestudying to do.

"We will also no longer allow apps to ask for access to personal information such as religious or political views, relationship status and details, custom friends lists, education and work history, fitness activity, book-reading activity, music-listening activity, news reading, video-watching activity, and games activity", said Facebook in an official statement.
